You were hope that what we were living
Was something worth the time
Even though the future was grim
And the earth was slowly dying
But my love, my love for you
Transcends where I am
So I wish this void I leave
You'll someday understand
That I have to leave
I have to leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
I have to leave
I have to leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
Again
As I go through holes in the sky
For the answer to it all
Would I know how time ticking by
Could forever take its toll?
But my love, my love for you
Should have listened to you that day
Oh how I wish this void I'm in
Turned that watch the other way
The other way
Don't let me leave
Don't let me leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
Don't let me leave
Don't let me leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
Again
Don't let me leave
Don't let me leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
Don't let me leave
Don't let me leave you
To save us both
When God only knows
If I'll ever see you
Make me stay, make me stay
Make me stay, make me stay
Make me stay, make me stay
Make me stay, make me stay
(Stay) Don't let me leave you
(Stay) Don't let me leave you
Don't let me leave you
Don't let me leave you
